This happens to my girlfriend all the time on my computer as well as her machine at work. All the other applications on both machines work fine... it is only MSN and Hotmail that behave as you observe. t tends to happen in spurts though. Still... it is not just you.

Interesting.

Another option is and I think it might be this because when I set up my machine a year ago it was based on this.

Windows 98 and XP (maybe all) gives you Windows Messenger and people like to download MSN messenger. These 2 conflict alot and at times usually disconnects you.

1. Click Start.
2. Click Run.
3. In the open box type RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
4. Click Ok.

This works then download MSN messenger and it will work fine, if not then that is all I can tell you.
